usage: make_mwa_tied_array_beam [OPTIONS]

Required options

Short option	Long option	Description
-c	–cal-metafits=FILE	FILE is the metafits file pertaining to the calibration solution
-C	–cal-location=PATH	PATH is the directory (RTS) or the file (OFFRINGA) containing the calibration solution
-m	–metafits=FILE	FILE is the metafits file for the target observation
-P	–pointings=FILE	FILE containing RA and Decs of multiple pointings in the format "HH:MM:SS.S DD:MM:SS.S ..."

Short option	Long option	Description	Default value
-A	–analysis_filter=FILTER	Apply the named filter during fine channelisation (for MWAX only)	FINEPFB
-s	–smart	Use legacy settings for fine channelisation	[off]
-S	–synth_filter=FILTER	Apply the named filter during high-time resolution synthesis. FILTER can be MIRROR or LSQ12.	LSQ12

Short option	Long option	Description	Default value
-b	–begin=GPSTIME	Begin time of observation, in GPS seconds. If GPSTIME starts with a '+' or a '-', then the time is taken relative to the start or end of the observation respectively.	+0
-d	–data-location=PATH	PATH is the directory containing the recombined data	[current directory]
-f	–coarse-chan=CHAN	Coarse channel number. If CHAN starts with a '+' or a '-', then the channel is taken relative to the first or last channel in the observation respectively. Otherwise, it is treated as a receiver channel number (0-255)	+0
-T	–nseconds=VAL	Process VAL seconds of data	[as many as possible]

Short option	Long option	Description	Default value
-p	–out-fine	Output fine-channelised, full-Stokes data (PSRFITS). If neither -p nor -v are used, default behaviour is to match channelisation of input.	[off]
-t	–max_t	Maximum number of seconds per output FITS file	200
-v	–out-coarse	Output coarse-channelised, 2-pol (XY) data (VDIF). If neither -p nor -v are used, default behaviour is to match channelisation of input.	[off]

Short option	Long option	Description	Default value
-B	–bandpass	Use the Bandpass (fine channel) as well as the DIJones (coarse channel) solutions (only relevant for RTS)	[off]
-F	–flagged-tiles=FILE	FILE is a text file including the TileNames of extra tiles to be flagged. By default, tiles flagged in both the calibration and the observation metafits file are flagged in the beamformer. The utility `rts_flag_ant_to_tilenames.py` can be used to convert the antenna numbers listed in the RTS `flagged_tiles.txt` file into human-readable tile names.	[no extra tiles are flagged]
-O	–offringa	The calibration solution is in the Offringa format instead of the default RTS format. In this case, the argument to `-C` should be the full path to the binary solution file.	[off]
-R	–ref-ant=TILENAME	Override the reference tile given in `pq_phase_correction.txt` for rotating the phases of the PP and QQ elements of the calibration solution. To turn off phase rotation altogether, set TILENAME=NONE.	[Use the value in `pq_phase_correction.txt`]
-U	–PQ-phase=PH,OFFS	Override the phase correction given in `pq_phase_correction.txt`. PH is given in rad/Hz and OFFS given in rad, such that, the QQ element of the calibration Jones matrix for frequency F (in Hz) is multiplied by exp(PH*F + OFFS). Setting PH = OFFS = 0 is equivalent to not performing any phase correction	[Use the value in `pq_phase_correction.txt`]
-X	–cross-terms	Retain the PQ and QP terms of the calibration solution	[off]

Short option	Long option	Description	Default value
-n	–nchunks=VAL	Split each second's worth of data into VAL processing chunks	1

Short option	Long option	Description
-h	–help	Print this help and exit
-V	–version	Print version number and exit
